Farms & estates — A–Z

Panama (12)

• Café Kotowa — A multi-farm coffee estate group in Boquete, Panama, run by Ricardo Koyner and named with an Indigenous word for “mountains” — four generations deep, organic, and a regular presence in both the Geisha and non-Geisha categories at Best of Panama.
• Carmen Estate — The Volcán farm that set the 2023 Best of Panama record at $10,005/kg — a four-generation Franceschi legacy now owned by China’s Dashang Group.
• El Velo — The newest and flattest of Hacienda La Esmeralda’s three farms in Boquete, Panama — home to the family’s 400-plus variety research collection and its rare-variety lots.
• Elida Estate — The Boquete estate that broke the $1,000/lb barrier — Panama’s highest coffee farm and a four-generation Lamastus family record-setter.
• Finca Deborah — A remote Geisha-only farm above 1,900 m in Volcán, Panama, run by Jamison Savage — the estate whose named lots have appeared on more world and national barista stages than almost any other single farm, including the 2016 World Barista Championship win.
• Finca La Mula — The small forest farm on Volcán Barú that Willem Boot planted entirely with Geisha in 2005 — and whose coffee was named Coffee Review’s number one of 2015 at 97 points.
• Finca La Valentina — Two unrelated farms carry this name — a 12.5-hectare Geisha grower in Horqueta, Boquete, Panama, and a 25-hectare farm in Honduras’s Montecillos region. Neither has a competition result this wiki can confirm.
• Finca Nuguo — A five-hectare Geisha farm high above Jurutungo in Panama’s Renacimiento district, run by the Gallardo family — winner of both Best of Panama Geisha categories in 2021 and the source of the coffee that won the 2026 World Brewers Cup.
• Finca Sophia — The California-founded experiment in growing Geisha higher than anyone thought possible — a 2008 farm at ~1,900–2,130 m in Volcán that has twice won the Best of Panama washed Geisha title.
• Hacienda La Esmeralda — The Peterson family farm in Boquete, Panama, that made Geisha world-famous and holds the record coffee prices.
• Lamastus Family Estates — The four-generation Panamanian family business behind Elida, Luito and El Burro estates in Boquete — grower, processor, exporter, roaster and repeat holder of the world record coffee price.
• Mama Cata — A 50-hectare estate in Boquete, Panama, farmed since 1911 and owned by the Garrido family — best known for Mokkita, the obscure variety that beat the field in the non-Geisha category at Best of Panama two years running.

Colombia (4)

• Café Granja La Esperanza — The Colombian family producer that brought Geisha to Colombia and, in October 2025, sold a Laurina lot for $2,194.10 a kilo — the highest price ever paid for a Colombian coffee at auction.
• El Vergel Estate — The Bayter family’s farm in Fresno, Tolima — an avocado property that turned into one of Colombia’s most experimental processing operations, with 28-plus varieties, 48-to-60-hour sealed ferments, and a much-repeated but unverified claim to Colombia’s first koji-fermented coffee.
• Finca El Suelo — The seven-hectare farm in El Pital, Huila that Norwegian roaster Tim Wendelboe carved out of Finca Tamana and planted in 2015 — named “the soil”, run without synthetic fertiliser, and deliberately planted with varieties that catch leaf rust.
• Finca Saza — The 25-hectare estate in Timbío, Cauca that a Japanese roastery bought and has farmed since the 1990s — Typica, Bourbon and Geisha at 1,950 m, grown by the same company that keeps setting world records buying other people’s coffee in Panama.

Brazil (4)

• Camocim Estate — The biodynamic farm in the mountains of Espírito Santo, Brazil that won Cup of Excellence Brazil Naturals 2017 at 93.60 points and $90.20 a pound — and that sells Jacu Bird, a coffee picked by a wild forest bird.
• Daterra — The Brazilian farm group in Patrocínio that turned sustainability into a product — first Rainforest Alliance certified farm in Brazil, 216 mini-farms, and the experimental Masterpieces lots.
• Fazenda Aparecida (Urupês) — The farm in Urupês, São Paulo whose unusually vigorous coffee trees brought the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas to town in 1943 — the field where the Mundo Novo variety was found, in a municipality that was itself called Mundo Novo at the time.
• Fazenda Paie Filho — The ten-hectare leased plot in Ibiraci, Minas Gerais that won Cup of Excellence Brazil 2019 with a natural Yellow Catuaí at 92.23 points — and sold it for $60.10 a pound, five times the auction average and double the Geisha that came second.

Central America (9)

• Finca El Cambalache — The roughly three-hectare Nueva Segovia farm run by Abner Samuel Zavala, which has placed at the Nicaragua Cup of Excellence three times — fourth in 2018 and second in 2021 with Maracaturra, and first in the washed category in 2026 at 91.44.
• Finca El Injerto — The Aguirre family’s estate in La Libertad, Huehuetenango — a farm founded in 1874 that has won Guatemala’s Cup of Excellence and set the country’s top auction prices with Pacamara and Geisha.
• Finca El Porvenir (San Fernando) — Sergio Noé Ortez Ortez’s oldest family farm, in the mountains north-east of Ocotal — bought by his father in 1978, worked up from a first harvest of under 150 kg, and the source of Nicaragua’s second-placed natural Pacamara at the 2025 Cup of Excellence.
• Finca El Puente — The Honduran farm that won the 2016 Cup of Excellence at $120 a pound — run by Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera in the highlands of La Paz, and the country’s most consistently decorated name in specialty coffee.
• Finca Elite — The small Mozonte farm in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, whose honey-processed Geisha scored 91.77 at the 2025 Nicaragua Cup of Excellence — the highest score of that competition — and which almost nothing else is published about.
• Finca La Esperanza (Dipilto) — The Zavala family’s original farm in Dipilto, Nueva Segovia — 1,300 m, once ordinary washed Caturra selling at 3.55 a pound in 2006, and the source of the washed Geisha that won the 2025 Nicaragua Cup of Excellence at 66.
• Finca Solidaridad — The roughly three-hectare smallholding in Matagalpa, Nicaragua farmed by José Ramón Jarquín Gómez, whose washed Maracaturra placed second at the 2025 Nicaragua Cup of Excellence and sold for $14 a pound.
• Fincas Mierisch — The German-descended Nicaraguan family that has been growing coffee since 1908 and now farms across Matagalpa, Jinotega and Honduras’s Comayagua highlands — owners of Santa Lucía, the farm that won the Honduran Cup of Excellence outright in both 2019 and 2021.
• Hacienda Sonora — A roughly 100-hectare family estate at the foot of Costa Rica’s Poás Volcano that runs its coffee mill on its own water — one of the few farms in specialty coffee whose sustainability claim is an engineering fact rather than a certificate.

Africa (1)

• Gesha Village Coffee Estate — The 471-hectare farm in far western Ethiopia that planted Geisha back where it came from — built from wild seed gathered 20 km away, and now the only estate in the world running an annual auction dedicated to Ethiopian Gesha.
